地狱中最黑暗的地方是为那些在道德危机时保持中立的人保留的。

And the thing about a successful life is that a lot of the time, our ideas of what it would mean to live successfully are not our own. They're sucked in from other people; chiefly, if you're a man, your father, and if you're a woman, your mother. Psychoanalysis has been drumming home this message for about 80 years. No one's quite listening hard enough, but I very much believe it's true.

The more enlightened our houses are, the more their walls ooze ghosts.

When you are young, you think you will be happy when you are older. But then you get older and you realize you were happy when you were young.

The fact remains that getting people right is not what living is all about anyway. It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again.
